The slide show at http://www.codelifter.com/main/javascript/slideshow4.html has everything I want in a slideshow except for hyperlink capability. I would like to add links to the images but have not been able to do so. If it isn't too much trouble I would appreciate if some one would add hyperlink capability to the existing code. The url is above and the code is below. A big thanks in advance if someone could help me out.

Who is Participating?

Your welcome! I'm glad I could help. I don't see any problem with the HTML change you describe. Just make sure that script that looks for a specific ID has a div with that ID to replace the table element or the ID in the script is changed to match the div's ID.

Let me know if you have any other questions related to this question or need help closing it.

What do you want the anchor to be? The image, the caption, both? I will assume that just the image should be the anchor. I have modified the code below but not had a chance to test it. Let me know if you have a question or if there is a problem.

bol,

Yes, I would like to be able to click on the photo and have it take the user to another webpage in my site.

I tried the revision that you made and unfortunately, it doesn' work. When I hover over the photo, there is no indication that I am on a hyperlink and clicking doesn't do anything either.

Links[1] = "URL to go in anchor's href.";
Links[2] = "This is the second Links.";
Links[3] = "This is the third Links.";
Links[4] = "This is the fourth Links.";
Links[5] = "This is the fifth Links.";
Links[6] = "This is the sixth Links.";
Links[7] = "This is the seventh Links.";
Links[8] = "This is the eighth Links.";
Links[9] = "This is the ninth Links.";
Links[10] = "This is the tenth Links.";

This is probably the section you did add. The string should contain the URL. It is whatever you would normally want in the href attribute of an anchor tag. It can be relative (i.e. "pages/page1.htm") or a full URL like in your last comment.
